Eberhard I. Chamberlain of Worms

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eberhard I. Chamberlain of Worms zu Bechtoldsheim (* around 1500 , named from 1520 ; † April 19, 1559 ) was the last of the family branch of the chamberlain from Worms to Herrnsheim Castle .

Origin and family

Eberhard I was a son of Wolfgang V. Chamberlain of Worms (* 1469 or 1470, † 24 February 1549), Electoral Palatinate bailiff in Oppenheim and Elizabeth, daughter of Eberhard Vatzer of Geispitzheim and Lisa von Ingelheim .

Eberhard I. married twice, the first time on November 28, 1531, Ursula, daughter of Frowin von Hutten and Kunigunde von Hattstein . Ursula died on April 19, 1555. She was buried in St. Peter in Herrnsheim (today: Worms ). After the death of his first wife, Eberhard I married a second time, namely Anna von Wernau (named from 1519). She also found her final resting place in St. Peter in Herrnsheim.

From the first marriage there was a son, Philip VI. (* 1532; † September 6, 1559), who was ill for a long time and died almost three weeks before his father, without heirs.

Act

Eberhard I was one of the few from the family of the eunuches of Worms who became Lutheran . Since his cousin, Wolfgang V, had entrusted him with the appointment of the pastor in Wallhausen , he presented the first Protestant pastor there on February 16, 1549 .

Death and afterlife

In this situation, Eberhard I. had written a will in front of an imperial notary in 1557 , which from the majority of his property - he received income from more than 60 places - formed an entails , whose beneficiary was Georg (Jörg), a distant cousin of the Family branch of those from Dalberg used. With Eberhard I. the penultimate branch of the family of the Chamberlain of Worms went out . Now there was only the von Dalberg family left . Eberhard I was buried next to his first wife and their pre-deceased son in the parish church of Herrnsheim. His second wife also received her final resting place there.

In 1560 two nieces of the deceased challenged the will - without success - because the property passed to Georg.

On the grave slab of Eberhard I in the parish church of Herrnsheim, a slab with a bas-relief that has been preserved, is written as the year of death "1561". In view of the inheritance dispute in 1560, this is an error.
